Hi everyone,
I actually started this project b/c I saw this thread a few months ago http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=159603 This thing has a really solid weight and it’s pretty sturdy. Definitely love the fact that this thing is indeed made of fiberglass!
Well I figured I’d try to pick one up and I ended up buying one from a fellow SRK member Gigazord. I have just put before and after pictures right now but I’ll put up additional pics of what I did in between if anyone is interested.
Anyway I picked this Blast City control panel box from Gigazord about a month ago and here are the pics. it wasn’t in really bad condition or anything but the paint job on it was pretty bad so I had to remove all of that and clean everything but here are the pics of what I received.
And here are the pics of the finished product. I will take more pics outside when it’s sunny but right now these pics are at night so they aren’t the greatest.
Here are the pics of the inside. I ended up repainting the latch and hinge. Wiring is kind of messy since I used the harness but I’ll fix that up soon. It’s currently only wired to 1 player but I’m going to be wiring up the 2nd player in a few days. Well here are the pics.
Here’s pics of the backside and the bottom.
Pics of me putting in a new 100yen sticker and also a new coin slot.
I ended up putting back the chrome coin slot since I thought it looked better.
And close up pics of the paint job.
If anyone has questions or want more pics definitely let me know! Any comments or opinions are welcomed!
